The dumb company (durable medical provider) that I went through for my first LO (little one) gave me the Ameda Purely yours...it was terrible! I didn't have any luck with it and ended up having to pay full price for a Medela out of my own pocket.

I have heard great things about the Spectra. Check Amazon - they should have some reviews for each of the pumps.

Yea, I looked on Amazon.. and it seems like Spectra is more powerful.. when it comes to suction. I will be pumping at work and building a stash for when I can't breastfeed..

The Purely yours was a no go.. by most.

the Evenflo.. people said was comfortable.. but, the suction wasn't good, it was loud and it took longer.

I didn't have any trouble with the Ameda once I changed out the tubing for Medela tubing. It fits tighter so there's no air leaks which I think is why it's not a great pump with the parts that are made for it. The Ameda tubing is really slippery and weird. I've also heard great things about Spectra, but I've never heard of that particular model, mostly just the S2.

Are you able to pay a small amount and upgrade? I also receive a free pump, but the one I want isn't "free." My friend has the same insurance and paid $80 to upgrade to the pump she wanted. I used a Medela double electric with my first two and loved it.mi exclusively pumped with my first. Lol, then I do rated my pump bc I thought we were done having babies

I had an ameda with my first and actualyl had fine results. I pumped with it at work and everything, and my supply was just great. With YDS I was a SAHM, but wanted a new pump because it had been a few years and wanted to be able to pump for date nights and other times away from baby if needed. I got a spectra and loved it. Much higher quality/function.
